The ages of these tephra layers were estimated using the age model of Site U1427.
This inter-site correlation enables us to transfer the age model of Site U1424 to all deeper sites, including Site U1426.
Reactive transport modeling of site geochemistry and hydrology is a highly useful for the design of effective MMV plans for carbon storage.
Traditionally, value-of-information or data-worth analyses have relied on a single conceptual-mathematical model of site hydrology with prescribed parameters.
The potential sources of error in the age model of Site U1427 with respect to LR04 are uncertainties in the correlation of benthic foraminiferal δ18O measurements and TWC indicators with LR04, and age estimations of widespread tephras and radiolarian biohorizons.
Including these sources of error, we estimate the uncertainty of the age model of Site U1427 to be ± 5 kyr for the period 0 400 ka and ± 10 kyr for the period 400 1000 ka.
However, regression models of site productivity seldom explain much more than 50% of the variability due to the difficulty in measuring many of the environmental variables which affect tree growth, particularly variables associated with soil fertility.
Accordingly, this paper explores three main alternative models of site formation: anthropogenic disposal of materials into the lake, a geological relocation of the artifacts, and hunting or caching on lake-ice.
In a separate analysis, to test whether fragile sites are associated with a higher incidence of repeats and CpG islands we estimated a Logit model of site fragility using repeats and CpG islands as predictors.
A gamma distribution model of site variation was used, calculated with PAML [ 38].
